poem 4 comments challenge: YWP is...
Treblemaker

YWP is...

YWP is... something, that's for sure.
It's like being at the dinner table with everyone who thinks as you do
Who has your sense of humor.
And everyone has a place at the table,
No one is pushed to the side,
pushed to the next room,
everyone is included. 
And each person brings their own dish to share
And no two dishes are the same
Some are in plates, others in pots
Each has a unique aroma and flavor,
a different spice,
Some people have been cooking for a long time
Others just started,
But no one says one dish is better than the other,
No one eats only what he brought. 
Everyone tries a different platter
makes suggestions on how to make it better
More flavorful,
Baked to perfection.
We share recipes too.
Challenge each other to push our cooking skills 
Coax one another to try a new technique. 
And we always respect one another,
even if there is a meal we don't particularly enjoy
Because either way we enjoy each other's company.
YWP is like appreciating each other for who we are:
Family style.
